* DarkerAndEdgier: A minor example, but you probably never expected a Disney Channel KidCom to feature the results of a TeenPregnancy affecting someone's life in addition to [[spoiler:characters with anxiety, a learning disability, military parent, deafness, and financial problems]]. There's also some slightly more explicit GettingCrapPastTheRadar stuff like a joke averting NoPeriodsPeriod and mistaking "diskhead" for an insult in the first episode alone.

** When Andi tells her friends that something "really, really big" happened on her thirteenth birthday, Cyrus misinterprets the situation, saying he gets it and that she doesn't have to spell it out. She walks away saying "It's my first period", to which Cyrus responds, "Exactly!"
** Upon meeting them, Jonah Beck calls Cyrus and Buffy "disc heads." Buffy thinks he called them something else.

** Cyrus says "See you later, girl-brah!" immediately followed by "That didn't sound right."
** In “A Walker to Remember”, Andi says she has formed a cheering squad for Buffy while she plays basketball to show TJ that Buffy has “possé power.”
** In "Buffy in a Bottle", TJ doesn't realize Cyrus' "physical issue" that happens to be "private" is his inability to do a somersault.
-->'''Cyrus:''' I'm sorry, it's... private. I'm having a... physical issue.\\
'''TJ:''' Oh...\\
'''Cyrus:''' Wait! No! Stop imagining horrible things!
** TJ's rap has the line "Make that ish official". "Ish" seems to be a family-friendly version of a certain S word...
** There's a gag in "One in a Minyan" about Cyrus' late grandmother sneaking cantaloupes into movie theaters, to which Jonah responds by asking how she managed to do that.

** Kira is this to Buffy as the school's ace girls basketball player. Initially she seems to resemble Buffy prior to her character development: competitive with a need to constantly one up everyone around her, sometimes at the expense of others. However, Kira is much more of a jerk than Buffy and actually quite cruel which Buffy never was. While Buffy has always supported Cyrus' sexuality and journey, Kira is quick to use TJ's fears regarding his sexuality against him to manipulate him. In "Mount Rushmore or Less", Buffy says she understands that somersaults are TJ and Cyrus' "thing" and why the costume is important to Cyrus, whereas Kira mocks the "inside joke that no one understands." Buffy respects Cyrus' closet (such as when her mother asks if she and Cyrus are dating and when Andi asks why Cyrus bailed on Mount Rushmore in front of Marty, Buffy avoids saying anything that could out Cyrus), whereas Kira implies she might out TJ or at least spread rumors about his sexuality.
